== Apps ==
 
I use [http://www.alfredapp.com/ Alfred] as my launcher.
 
I use [http://www.macbartender.com/ Bartender] to keep my menu bar clean.
 
I recently installed [[Notational Velocity]]. I love the concept, and I especially love the notion of using the search bar for both searching and creating docs. It's very similar to [[Collab:Link As You Think]]. However, Evernote seems to play the same role, and WriteRoom (or Aquamacs in full-screen mode, which is what I use) is better for distraction-free writing.

== PDF ==
 
Mac OS X has built-in support for generating PDFs via the print dialog. Sadly, not all apps use this. In the old days, Adobe provided a PDF printer driver, but that [http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php no longer is available] as of 10.6 (Snow Leopard). [https://bitbucket.org/codepoet/cups-pdf-for-mac-os-x/wiki/Home CUPS-PDF] is an open source alternative based on CUPS, but it's not clear how possible it is to customize. For example, I would like to have different options for paper size, but it's not clear / easy how to do that.
